fered support for the upcoming 3K event. Special thanks to the Edris family and Joshi family for their contributions.

We are still in need of help! This event cannot happen without the support of our families and community. Because we

are in need of much funding, if your business or your family would be willing to make a donation of $300 or more, we

will place your business name or family name on the back of each shirt as a way of showing our appreciation for your

generosity. We are in need of much funding and thank you in advance for your support. In order for us to place your

company’s or family’s name on our shirts, we will need t-shirt donations by March 15. We also are in need of dona-

tions for fruit pops, door prizes, and awards. If you would be willing to offer assistance, please contact Ms. Killebrew

The Forgetting

By S. Cameron

What isn't written, isn't remem-

bered. Even your crimes. Nadia

lives in the city of Canaan, where

life is safe and structured,

hemmed in by white stone walls

and no memory of what came

before. But every twelve years the

city descends into the bloody

chaos of the Forgetting, a day of

no remorse, when each person's

memories -- of parents, children,

love, life, and self -- are lost. Un-

less they have been written.

Worthy

By D. Cooner

Download the app. Be the judge.

Everyone at Linden's high school is obsessed

with Worthy. It's this new app that posts pic-

tures of couples, and asks: Is the girl worthy of

the guy?

Suddenly, relationships implode as the votes

climb and the comments get real ugly real fast.

Zero Day

By J. Gangsei

Eight years ago, Addie

Webster was the victim of the

most notorious kidnapping of the

decade. Addie vanished—and her

high-profile parents were forced

to move on. Mark Webster is now

president of the United States,

fighting to keep the oval office

after a tumultuous first term.

Then the unthinkable happens:

the president's daughter resurfac-

es. Addie is brought back into her

family's fold, but who is this six-

teen-year-old girl with a quiet,

burning intelligence now living in

the White House?

CNMS Spring Book Fair

February 13 - 17, 2017

For the Love of Reading!

Overturned

By L. Giles

Nikki Tate is infamous,

even by Las Vegas standards. Her

dad is sitting on death row, con-

victed of killing his best friend in a

gambling dispute turned ugly. And

for five years, he's maintained his

innocence. But Nikki wants no

part of that. She's been working

on Operation Escape Vegas: play-

ing in illegal card games so she can

save up enough money to get out

come graduation day.

Then her dad's murder conviction

is overturned. The new evidence

seems to come out of nowhere

and Nikki's life becomes a mess

when he's released from prison.

Because the dad who comes

home is not the dad she remem-

bers. And he's desperately ob-

sessed with finding out

who framed him--and

why.

A Dog’s Pupose: A Novel for Humans

By W. B. Cameron

Heartwarming, insightful, and often laugh-

out-loud funny, A Dog's Purpose is not only the

emotional and hilarious story of a dog's many

lives, but also a dog's-eye commentary on hu-

man relationships and the unbreakable bonds

between man and man's best friend. This mov-

ing and beautifully crafted story teaches us that

love never dies, that our true friends are always

with us, and that every creature on earth is born

with a purpose.

EXO

By F. Lee

It's been a century of peace since Earth

became a colony of an alien race with far reach-

es into the galaxy. Some die-hard extremists still

oppose alien rule on Earth, but Donovan Reyes

isn't one of them. His dad holds the prestigious

position of Prime Liaison in the collaborationist

government, and Donovan's high social standing

along with his remarkable alien technology

fused to his body guarantee him a bright future

in the security forces.

By Your Side

By K. West

When Autumn Collins

finds herself accidentally locked in

the library for an entire weekend,

she doesn’t think things could get

any worse. But that’s before she

realizes that Dax Miller is locked

in with her. Autumn doesn’t know

much about Dax except that he’s

trouble. Between the rumors

about the fight he was in (and

that brief stint in juvie that fol-

lowed it) and his reputation as a

loner, he’s not exactly the ideal

person to be stuck with. Still, she

just keeps reminding herself that

it is only a matter of time before

Jeff, her almost-boyfriend, realiz-

es he left her in the library and

comes to rescue her.

Only he doesn’t come. No one

does.
